Tshiluba Bible (Mukanda wa Nzambi Dihungila Dikulukulu ne Dihungila Dihia-dihia 2003)
Kanufidi bituha bia mibidi yenu ku bubi, bu bielelu bia nvita bia malu mabi; hadi nudifile kudi Nzambi bu bantu bakubika ku lufu, nufile bituha bia mibidi yenu kabidi bu bielelu bia nvita bia buakane kudi Nzambi.
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Romans tells us not to let our bodies do bad things for sin, but instead to give ourselves fully to God and use our bodies to do good things for Him.
Explained for Children
Imagine your body is like a toy. This verse says don't use the toy to break rules or hurt others. Instead, use it to help people and make God happy, just like you'd play nicely with your toys.
Historical Background
The Apostle Paul wrote Romans around 56-58 AD to Christians in Rome. He was addressing their questions about living a life of righteousness after salvation from sin.
Living It Out Today
Imagine you're at work and tempted to gossip about coworkers. Instead, use that energy to encourage them or help with extra tasks, showing God's love through your actions.
